BOULDER -- The second of two men accused of attempting to murder a Sons of Silence motorcycle club member in his Longmont home in April pleaded guilty in Boulder District Court on Tuesday.

Justin Jeske pleaded guilty to second-degree assault in a plea deal that stipulates a six-year prison term. Co-defendant Stanley Glade pleaded guilty to second-degree assault last week. He faces between five and eight years in prison under his deal.

Jeske was scheduled to go to trial in January on charges of attempted first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, first-degree burglary, second-degree assault and aggravated robbery.

The 50-year-old victim said when he answered his door April 17, Jeske and Glade rushed into his home and beat him with the blunt end of a screwdriver and a motorcycle part. He said the men strangled him and said they were going to kill him.

When the victim broke free from the attack and retrieved a gun, Jeske and Glade fled from the home, stealing the man's wallet, driver's license and credit cards on the way out, according to police reports. The victim sought treatment at Longmont United Hospital and police were contacted.

The victim told police Glade had been kicked out of the Sons of Silence because of increasingly violent and unpredictable behavior, including an earlier attack on the same victim in Denver. That attack, according to Longmont police, was not reported to Denver police at the time.
